Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with Answering System with 1 handset.

KX-TG4031B

Features

Dect 6.0 PLUS

Dect Plus technology takes the superb sound quality and outstanding range of DECT 6.0 phones to a whole new level. By increasing the frequency of error correction up to 80x, the transmission quality is improved and the phones range is extended. Engineered to work in 1.9GHz frequency, our DECT 6.0 phones wont conflict with common wireless devices such as 2.4GHz routers, wireless keyboards and mice, microwave ovens and other household items. And because its digital, youll enjoy long range and clear sound while deterring eavesdropping.

Intelligent Eco Mode

This feature automatically lowers the power consumption when youre using the handset close to the base unit. Not only does it extend the available talk time, its good for the environment. When less power is used by the handset to communicate with the base unit, battery life is prolonged which results in less frequent charging and can result in fewer batteries in landfills.

Call Block

Store the Caller ID info of any and all unwanted callers into your homes Call Block list so that you can eliminate future pesky calls from them. After their information is stored, theyll get a busy signal if they call you again.

Silent Mode

Now you can program each handset to ring or not at your discretion. For example, before you go to sleep, set the bedside handset to Silent Mode so that it wont ring for the duration of your slumber. In the meantime, the handset in another room is unaffected, and rings as usual.

Talking Caller ID

Now you don't have to be holding the phone to see who's calling; using text-to-speech technology, the Caller ID information is announced in between rings!

Non-Slip Handset

Multi-tasking while you are talking on a cordless handset - whether it's jotting down a quick note, pouring a glass of juice or folding a few pieces of laundry - is often difficult due to the tendency of the handset to slip as you cradle it on your shoulder. The rubberized grip helps prevent slipping, making it easier and more comfortable to cradle the phone when you want to work with your hands.

Range Extender (Standard on the 405X Models)

When it comes to a cordless phone's range, longer is definitely better. The Range Extender feature included in this model, addresses this need by doubling the effective transmission distance between the base unit and the cordless handset when compared with previous models. Now you can take your conversations further.

Great phone!Disregard reviews of cheap feel. Light weight is the goal of the design that doesn't equate to cheap. The call block feature is unique to this phone. Highly recommended.

Why do I hear an echo on my handset?

This is normal. When you first use your phone, there may be a slight echo because the microphone is being calibrated. This will occur again if the base is disconnected from the power outlet, or after a power outage. If echo continues for several days try to reset the handset by removing the batteries from the unit for a few seconds.

If you have multiple handsets verify that you are getting echo, distortion or static on all handsets. Try to change the telephone cord that connects the base unit to the wall to resolve. Contact your Telephone Service Provider if all handsets are affected as the issue may with your telephone line.

If you have your telephone connected to your modem then you may experience static, echo or distortion. Contact your Telephone Service Provider for a DSL Filter. The DSL filter prevents interference between telephones and digital subscriber line (DSL) service connected to the same line.
